About

Idunn is the keeper of the golden apples that grant the gods their immortality and eternal youth. Without her apples, the Aesir would age and wither like mortals—her role makes her one of the most crucial figures in Asgard.

Wife of Bragi, the god of poetry, Idunn embodies the preservation of life and vitality. Her orchard is the source of divine rejuvenation, and she carefully tends to each precious apple.

She represents the preciousness of youth and the vital forces that sustain life, as well as the vulnerability that comes from being so essential to others.

Famous Story

The giant Thjazi kidnapped Idunn and her apples with Loki's unwitting help. Without her, the gods began to age rapidly. Loki was forced to rescue her by borrowing Freya's falcon cloak and transforming Idunn into a nut to carry her home, saving the gods from mortality.
